Fully modernised, Georgian country house with gate lodge, set in 11.5 acres with its own golf course.
Arngask House is a handsome Category C-listed Georgian country house, beautifully presented throughout. The property combines classical Georgian proportions with elegant accommodation that has been thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners to suit modern family living, while retaining a wealth of period character and architectural charm. The house is set within approximately 11.53 acres of mature gardens and policy grounds, which include a separate gate lodge, an established walled garden with a summerhouse, and a wonderful six-hole golf course complete with its own clubhouse and separate golf simulator room.
The entrance porch opens into a characterful reception hall featuring decorative pillars and an archway, ornate cornicing, original flagstones, a log-burning stove, and an elegant curved stone staircase leading to the first floor. The principal reception rooms are positioned on either side of the hall and offer excellent proportions, with high ceilings, decorative cornicing, and south-facing sash windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The drawing room provides a superb space for formal entertaining, with double doors opening onto a patio overlooking the walled garden and a log-burning stove creating a welcoming atmosphere. The comfortable sitting room is ideal for everyday family life and leads through to the games room/dining room beyond. This bright, timber-panelled room enjoys windows to the south and west, a door leading to the garden, and a log burner with a decorative wooden mantelpiece. Also accessed from the entrance hall are a cloakroom and WC.
Forming the heart of the house is the spacious kitchen/dining room, complemented by a highly practical utility room with pantry cupboards concealed behind a sliding partition. The kitchen, fitted by Sculleries of Stockbridge, enjoys attractive easterly views across the gardens towards the walled garden beyond. It features a central island with breakfast bar, and the original servants' bell box remains in working order. Integrated appliances include a Stoves Richmond Deluxe 90 Ei range cooker, 5 Zone induction hob, 3-in-1 multi-function oven, Kenwood American style fridge freezer and an AEG dishwasher.
Beyond the kitchen is a study, which could equally serve as a ground-floor bedroom, benefiting from an adjacent shower room. A secondary staircase leads from here to the first-floor bedrooms. Additional ancillary accommodation is located off a rear hall connecting the kitchen/dining room to the entrance hall. These useful rooms include a laundry room, plumbed for appliances and fitted with double Belfast sinks, a store room, and a boiler room with a door leading out to the courtyard.
The first floor provides an excellent and flexible arrangement of bedrooms, accessed via both the principal staircase and the secondary staircase beyond the kitchen. The main landing is illuminated by a large circular skylight. The principal bedroom enjoys stunning views to the south and east and benefits from fitted wardrobes, while an adjoining dressing room provides additional storage and convenience.
Four further bedrooms and two bathrooms offer flexible accommodation for family and guests. Two additional bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study, are situated to the rear of the house. These rooms are accessed via the secondary staircase and through an interconnecting door from another bedroom. If desired, this section can be closed off, allowing the two rooms to function independently with access to the ground floor shower room via the rear staircase.
WALLED GARDEN AND OUTBUILDINGS - To the rear of the house is a courtyard with a range of outbuildings, one of which has been fitted out as a golf simulator room while retaining much of the character of what was likely the original cart shed, including exposed stone walls. Adjacent to this is a connecting garage, while a spacious garden store is located to the rear. Steps to the side lead up to a purpose-built sauna and plunge pool. There is also an EV car charge point at the property.
The stunning bow-ended walled garden lies to the east of the house and provides a superb outdoor entertaining space. An open-sided summerhouse and expansive decked area offer the perfect setting for relaxing and gathering in the evening sun. The garden also features a pétanque/French boules court flanked by fruit trees, together with a central lawn, vegetable garden, raised herb beds, and a greenhouse.
